    Here's the deal with Nexstar:

     

    Yes the Media General merger and its influence has made an impact on Nexstar (and I fully expect the Tribune acquisition to be the same for Nexstar)

     

    You can thank Media General's merger with LIN for that. I mean, how do you think MG started getting better?

    Yes, there was an article in some publication where BNS management wanted Yolanda, but she was under contract with WSYX at the time.   Kristyn was a horrible choice as Andrea's replacement. In some cases it always hard to find the right candidate when replacing someone who been there a long time.  BNS whole contemporary branding/image is not them.  It's the station with the old guard, but what they're not good at is the young demo where WSYX does well in.  I read Mitch wasn't well liked in Phoenix, but did a good job at WTOL, but I guess that because of WTOL's #1 status during his time there.

     

    Just out of curiosity, how does WTHR do with the young demo in its market?

    The 700 Club thing is just a perpetually valid contract. Disney offered CBN a year's worth of the money they get from airing the show and its semi-annual telethons to buy it out, but Pat declined.

     

    Disney can just wait for Pat to pass away and hope his successor is open to a deal.

    I wonder how they felt at WWL being forced to air the Super Bowl which their home team was robbed in? I do think the Saints will be seen as the "real" winners in the end.

     

    Or WDSU, watching their colleagues at WCVB, WMUR, and WMTW celebrate another Patriots win.

    84 mic flags. Wow.

     

    So, who's the poor schmuck who has to keep track of all those mic flags this week? And do they all have to be shipped back to their respective stations?

    And yet, she came from a TEGNA station that was competing against a Sinclair-owned station in Seattle before getting hired by the Smith Empire to compete against her now-former employer in DC. This should be fun.

     

    I'm guessing KING was generally beating KOMO in the ratings...

    Chet and Nat were married to others before they were married to each other and Chet had kids with his first wife. Heck, Jacobson was the last name of Nat's first husband!

     

    That's not what I meant.

    Think it’s safe to say just for WMUR. All other stations got Diagrid 2.0. 

     

    So, basically, the guy didn't want to single out WMUR by name? Fair enough.

    Definitely not worth its own thread but it appears the WMUR graphics package is called RINGS according to this one post on Vimeo from a hub designer.

     

    Cool, thanks for that.

     

    Quote

    As a graphics hub for all of the Hearst owned stations, we have developed an alternate design package called "RINGS" for the stations who might share part of the same DMA as those who use the "DIAGRID" design.

     

    So, not just WMUR?

     

    (Mods, feel free to move this if necessary.)

    I wondered how well the 1A-to-6A thing was going.  I'd probably be out of breath if I had to dodge traffic and run across a plaza, and then find the red light and correct camera--and look like I just walked across a hall.

    What, they don't have an underground tunnel connecting the buildings? 😉

    That’s the first time I’ve ever seen a TV station’s logo resemble an interstate sign. There is at least one radio station I know of that has a similar logo (KYKZ-FM in Lake Charles, LA), but their logo utilizes the complete interstate logo design, whereas KTXA’s interstate logo doesn’t.....

    KOBI and KOTI say hi.

    What is the size of the circle in our default pics? I would like to adjust mines accordingly.

    In discussion threads, the avatars (pics) are resized to 90px (pixels) wide on desktop browsers and smaller at more mobile-friendly widths, while the circle itself is added via CSS (specifically, the border-radius property). There doesn't seem to be a limit on the width and height, but there is a maximum file size of 1 MB. I'd say keep it under 200x200 and pretend there's a circle over it that touches all four sides.
